Do you want an application that has a lot of formatting options that enable you to check your device for bad blocks, and select the algorithm type (from 1 to 4 passes)? Then you should check out Rufus. The program has the potential that enables you to set the quick format mode, create an extended label and icon files, as well as create a bootable disk using an ISO image.

What’s Rufus?

Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.); you need to work on a system that doesn’t have an OS installed; you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS; and you want to run a low-level utility.

Rufus is also capable of recording all activity to a separate panel, and can be saved to a LOG file. It carries out a format task rapidly and error-free, using low system resources.
